What are your general comments?
Like I said, student interview was kind of strange. He only had my name and alma mater. Faculty interview was fantistic--the guy was a real character and I truly enjoyed meeting him. It was pretty laid back. None of the interviewees were conversing much at the beginning of the day but had loosened up by the afternoon. Not enough was said about the curriculum or the research options.
💬 Interview Process

Read material about the school.
What impressed you positively?
The simulation center, extensive hospital facilities, Pittsburgh is a charming city (just wish it was closer to home).
What impressed you negatively?
Interview group was large (15, and my interview the day before was only 4). The class size is pretty big. Interview with student was a little awkward, so I felt like I spent most of the time trying to make him feel comfortable as opposed to the other way around.

Nothing.
